Good news! If you planted cover crop for the 2022 crop year, under most crop insurance policies you will be eligible for a $5 per acre premium discount on those acres. Just make sure your cover crop acreage was or gets reported to FSA prior to March 15th.

Agricultural producers who have coverage under most crop insurance policies are eligible for a premium benefit from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) if they planted cover crops during the 2022 crop year.

Just a reminder:

For spring crops, interest was deferred by RMA for 60 days. This meant for the October and November billing cycles no interest was applied. That ends on November 30th.

If the bill is not paid on or by November 30th then the December bill will have accrued interest from October and November included.
